Published on January 10, 2014</abbr> in From Louis. 0 Comments

One of my MOST POPULAR PIECES…….THE PEBBLE CREPE TUNIC, A213621, has been reordered again. If you haven’t noticed these Jan. shows have quite a few reorder pieces, and you all know what hoops “we” have to jump through to have a garment QUALIFY for being reordered! I totally understand the popularity of this particular top. It is very difficult to do a simple, solid, totally unadorned piece that not only works for most women in all sizes, but is CHIC to boot. It is the cut, the proportion, the subtle detailing of the banding that helps the garment keep its’ shape, and the nonchalance of the almost invisible patch pockets….of of those features combined….makes this top successful. The fact that it can be worn super casual, or can be dressed up with the right accessories………and the fact that it looks great with any bottom from jeans to Capri, crop or regular length pants… to my BOHO skirt, long slim skirt or pencil skirt, makes this top VERY VERSATILE. Above, I have featured the returning…………. CHILI PEPPER……&…..the new……..OLIVE…………….I have the OLIVE with piles of necklaces….Two of J278131, the ENDLESS FLAT DISC NECKLACES are combines with two of the J278132 GRADUATED OVAL BEAD SHORT NECKLACES….all in the OLIVE……DO NOT LOOK at the QVC photos….you won’t recognize the pieces or the colors. On her ear I have the matching OLIVE BEAD EARRING, J278133 and on her wrist there will be the BOLD DISC STRETCH CUFF, J278134, in the OLIVE….If you love bold cuffs you really should give this a try…..it comes in three BEAUTIFUL COLORS, and is perfect when you are wearing 3/4 or bracelet length sleeves…..In the winter I love it with Turtlenecks…..For the bottom I have the OLIVE BOHO SKIRT, A70208…..When the weather is cold…not snowing….wear boots…..when spring and summer arrive switch your boots to sandals or wedges…..as I said, VERSATILE……….For the CHILI PEPPER outfit I chose a black vintage crop pant……a pebble crepe one will be coming in late spring early summer!……………and again lots of necklaces….this time the J271859, the FLEUR DE LIS CROSS in the WINE and GOLD….with THREE of the WINE and GOLD STATION NECKLACES, J271861. This necklace is made up of a combination of clear wine oval beads and carved GOLD stations with WINE ENAMEL…………..there are 17 reviews on this necklace….ALL FIVE STAR. The cross and necklace is also avail in the OLIVE & GOLD combination……………………….This PEBBLE CREPE TOP is also avail in the original NAVY……….scroll down for one more………………………………………………………………………….

…………………………………………………………………………..enjoy……………………………..much Love………………………….Louis

....and check out that Necklace on the Black Tunic.....coming soon......

[DiAnne]

I am always tempted by this tunic but it does not work for my body type. Ordered it once and returned because I am large busted and I looked like an overage pregnant person. Would love to have it in olive.....

[Marlyn1]

I'm glad it works for me, because it has become one of my go to pieces as soon as the weather gets warmer. I've already placed my order for the olive in xs before they sell out. I already have the other colors including some that have not been reordered. That necklace is unbelievably beautiful. I will definitely be looking for it.

Love the top and the necklace. I will definitely be getting that necklace in both silver and gold if it comes in both. And those big hoops in all the colors.

I ordered my regular size. But the bra strap ""fix"" is not too difficult. Louis actually puts these little bra strap strips that snap and hold the bra straps out of sight in many of his tanks. You might find it worth it to add - or have your seamstress add - little bra strap hider strips to these tops. You also might not. I definitely do NOT advocate paying more for clothing items than their posted price. But if you sew .... just a thought. Since you never wear it - might think about giving this simple fix a try.

Did you order your regular QVC size in this top? I got the chili pepper, in my normal size and find the neck opening too wide (shows bra straps). I do like the top, but seldom wear it due to that one issue. Thanks for any advice on sizing on this one.

I have a question about Linea garment sizing in general. My bust is 35"-35 1/2", and I'm not sure what size to order anymore. What size would I take in this top, for instance? How many extra inches are you supposed to allow?

morganjen, I would go with XS tops. The pebble crepe I fit into the XS. I would look at the cross back from sleeve insert to sleeve insert and make your determination that way as well when deciding between S vs. XS. Armhole height too is another thing to look at. I can get away with an armhole height of about 7.5" before the sides of the bra start showing through with arms up-raised; if this helps.

I lived in the Black Pebble Crepe Tunic and matching Crop Pants when I was in Johannesburg on business for the first three months of 2013. it was my "go to" weekend outfit along with the Black Print Ikat pieces from a few years ago. I would wash the crepe pieces in the hotel sink and hang to dry---never even had to iron or stem them. I just ordered the Chili Pepper Tunic and Louis said new Pebble Crepe crop pants are coming in the Spring---I hope in Chili Pepper as well.

Now that I've lost weight, I'm reordering the Black Pebble Crepe pieces in Medium. I love this fabric so much that I do not want to be without it!

If you haven't tried it, you must!
